Mobile Phone Policy

Mobile phones should not be seen or heard anywhere on the school site, before or during school, unless given specific permission by a member of staff. At the end of the day, if students need to arrange to be picked up, the phone should not be used until out of the school building. Failure to follow these rules will result in the mobile phone being confiscated until the end of the week or, for a parent/carer, to make an appointment to collect the phone no earlier than 24 hours after the confiscation. If confiscated on a Friday, the phone will be held until the following Monday. Travel tickets / debit cards on phones will not be accepted as a reason not to confiscate a phone if misused.
